As you would expect from an organisation founded around the harvesting and processing of timber, the environment is an issue that ranks highly in Finnforests agenda. Our commitment to the forest, and maintaining it as a lasting resource for future generations, drives our policy of sourcing products from sustained, managed forests.

Social and environmental responsibilities are central to our thinking and we take corporate social responsibility seriously - through the timber we supply, the people we employ and the communities we operate in.
